Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFabio Zanarello is a doctoral researcher and bioinformatics specialist with eight years of experience mining genomes to solve real-world problems, currently pursuing a PhD in Biomedicine at Universitat Pompeu Fabra while affiliated with the Centre for Genomic Regulation and funded by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. He blends hands-on industry experience from Illumina—where he progressed from intern to senior bioinformatics scientist—with academic training in molecular biotechnology and plant/agricultural biotech from Università degli Studi di Milano. His work focuses on scalable genome annotation across the tree of life, combining computational methods, genomics, and signal-processing instincts (he describes himself as passionate about genomes, computers, and waves). Comfortable moving between research and product environments, he brings a practical mindset for turning genomic data into actionable insights and a conviction that DNA holds solutions to many of humanity’s pressing issues.
